your shadorma is really beautiful, Erich. Did you mean quiet for line two? If the judge is a stickler for spelling, that could prevent this beauty from placing. Love those bluebirds and the peace and the flowers and the warmth. It's my kind of place.

I have enjoyed reading your well written poetry this morning Erich. I hope to be able to read more of your poems soon. Have a wonderful weekend and thank you for sharing your writing with us always and wishing you the best for the contest. Love, Carol
